JACK DAVIS, ELIJAH SARMIENTO, GRACE SHEFCIK The Effects of Acantholycosa on Apis mellifera Feeding Behavior

Introduction Much research has been done on things like pesticides, diseases, and parasites, but not on things like predators. Question: Will Acantholycosa affect Apis mellifera feeding behavior? Prediction: Apis mellifera will avoid areas with Acantholycosa.

Method The data was collected by recording the number of bees that went to each dish. Duration = 15 minutes Sample size = 11

Results 6 bees went to the experimental dish and 5 went to the control. We calculated a P value of 0.5, or 50%.

Conclusion Our results completely contradicted our hypothesis and prediction. This could be because of a number of reasons. More trials need to be done before we can draw any definite conclusions. If we can prove that bees can avoid predators, then we can further understand how to prevent CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder)
